What happens to a GDL driver found with a blood alcohol content over the legal limit?

A GDL (Graduated Driver's License) driver found with a blood alcohol content over the legal limit faces immediate and serious consequences. The law is particularly stringent for novice drivers, as they are still in the process of gaining experience and building safe driving habits.

When a GDL driver is caught exceeding the legal BAC limit, the immediate response includes a suspension of their driver's license for 30 days. This serves as a deterrent, emphasizing the importance of safe driving practices and the responsibility that comes with operating a vehicle. Additionally, the seizure of the vehicle reinforces the seriousness of the offense and aims to prevent further incidents.

These measures are designed to promote greater road safety, especially among newer drivers who may be more susceptible to the dangers of driving under the influence. GDL drivers are held to stricter standards to encourage safe driving habits from the outset of their driving careers.
